He then described how someone had run out, slashed his hand with a knife and fled via a window.

“What it is is he shouted and he shouted Mick and he went get down here and so obviously I come down and I've gone through and he's just laying on the floor,” Goddard could be heard saying in the recording.

“And then somebody has just run out as I’ve just come through front door and then he approached me and he just slashed my hand and buggered off.”

An ambulance operator then tries to get Goddard to give Mr Boardman chest compressions but the defendant tells him ‘honest, I can’t, I'm shaking now’, before continuing ‘I’m gonna have a fit’.

The court has heard how Mr Boardman required daily care due to health complaints including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Jurors were previously told how police had found a trail of Goddard’s blood stretching for nearly three miles from and to his flat, , and a jacket was discovered on that route stained with both the defendant’s and Mr Goddard’s blood.

A post-mortem examination found Mr Goddard had died from ‘severe sharp force neck injuries with stab wounds to his back.

The trial continues.
